Susanto, is the only player with minimal prior Valorant experience. However, his legacy stretches far and wide in the Counterstrike scene as one of Asia's most established players, having played for TYLOO and Team NKT. He officially retired in 2022 and has been looking for a team in Valorant until now.

As the season progressed, the roster slowly made footing as they finished third in playoffs, qualifying for both Masters: Tokyo and Champions 2023. In both those events, T1 were eliminated in groups at the hands of
